My weekend with a fish!

Had an amazing weekend with educators from around the world talking about fish for schools. The fun Steve and I had just can't be captured in a photo.

Fun and NAB 2007

Got to go to NAB this year to help a friend and ended up hanging out with some very cool video and podcast geeks. You know how much I love the social life so this was a stretch for my but they were all so kind and welcoming - I may have to reconsider my ban on late-night bar hopping if some of my new friends promise to come with : ]

Why I left Vox

As many of you know I started a blog on vox.com to try it out. It seemed interesting, great interface, and a cool ability to control each post and who reads it. You can limit readership by post so if I wanted to post my travel schedule for my family I could limit it to those people. As time went on I noticed the ads on VOX and I was not getting paid for those adds. I couldn't figure out how to control the RSS feed, add the bookmarking feature, etc. I have been working on a blog in blogger and find it easy to use with more features . . . so I made the switch.

The idea of this one-way method of communication is intriguing to me. It is like having friends with no social commitment. The older I get the more social settings can stress me out. Maybe it is because I love work so much!

Coyote Finds A Haven in Downtown Chicago Sandwich Shop

I could not believe this when my sister told me - I had to seek out a video. Apparently about ten coyotes are year are captured in downtown Chicago. What was he doing before he ran into the sub shop? Riding the 'L' through the loop? Taking in a Cubs game? Looking for the old Marshal Fields?

Visit to Chicago - the new nephew

We had a great visit in Chicago - my new (JD) is very cute. JD and Brian worked on rescuing my parents computer - an annual visit tradition. You can see JD's look of confusion as Brian tries to explain what Vista is just not ready for my parents' computer.

Fun with Friends at Film Festival in San Francisco

Two weeks ago we met up with our friend David who is Wallace in the short film My Name Is Wallace. It is a very cute movie that will hopefully make it to a full feature. David is pictured below with (from left to right) Ray, David, Gabe, and Justin. If you haven't see My Name is Wallace, time to find it playing at a film fest near you!
